| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 f150 and had the driver's side power window regulator fail on my truck as have thousands of other people from what i am reading online. I was traveling 65 miles per hour when my window fell into my door. The day prior i rolled my window up at the post office and heard a crunching or cracking sound as the window reached the top. I too did not think much of it until my window fell in. To correct the problem i paid a ford dealership in loveland, colorado $400 to replace the damaged parts in my door. The old part is no longer available as i assume they threw it away. I believe this to be a major safety hazard as at 65 miles per hour in a driving wind a lot of dust/dirt debris entered my truck until i got pulled over on the highway. Luckily i did not get anything in my eyes. Ford should be forced to recall these regulators and refund peoples expense that have already fixed this. *cn |
